Your worst nightmare...
Very nice video and agree 100% with the smart guy talking , on take off E55 did not have full throtle, if you see the RPM never made it to even 7K, it hanged around 4500 for a second or so, the E63 hooked on instantly and had an excellent take off. At the end it is well said it all came down to the driver and the intervention of the ESP in the E55. Very nice video though.

SL65
The E55 was faster, pay attention to the end. It had a lower time and covered the distance faster than the E63 and trap speed was also higher than the 63. The reaction time of the driver in the E55 was poor allowing the 63 to get out ahead first giving the illusion that the E63 was much faster.

LS7 powered Corvette
yea based on the top end the traps looked similar.. they were dead even. The 55 has the few tenths b/c of the low end.

Absolutely! the 55 was better in the 1/4 mile! even MB officials are saying it now! and even on this video the 63 did not waste the 55 even though the 55 had a bad start, may be as he said the 63 was faster around the track! but seriously who will buy a full size saloon for track purposes, Bottom line : the 63 was just a response From AMG to try to match the E60 m5 on the track and as far as I'm concerned the 55 is still the way to go , no doubt

haters crazy
This video was actually shown at AMGfest last month. It was shown by AMG reps. and they admittted the 55 was faster in the 1/4. I've been saying this for a month now, nobody wanted to listen.
